Welcome

The International Neural Network Society (INNS) is the premiere organization for individuals interested in a theoretical and computational understanding of the brain and applying that knowledge to develop new and more effective forms of machine intelligence. INNS was formed in 1987 by the leading scientists in the neural network field. In the past 3 decades, the Society played a key role in the field of neural networks pursuing interdisciplinary perspectives. The membership of INNS reflects our diversity; our members represent a variety of fields, backgrounds and level of interest. Our goals are to better understand the human brain/mind and to create more powerful brain/mind-inspired intelligent machines for addressing complex problems faced by 21st-century societies. These goals are challenging, exciting, and rewarding and with our joint efforts, we can make a significant difference in our future.

NewsIt is a sad news that Lotfi A Zadeh, the father of fuzzy logic, long-standing leader and Board member of INNS has passed away at the age of 96 at his Mendocino home in Berkeley, CA, USA. His work revolutionized artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, ranging from fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computing, to computing with words. Since the introduction of fuzzy-controlled driverless subway in 1988 in Sendai, Japan, fuzzy logic has demonstrated explosive growth in Industrial applications, including transportation, manufacturing, household electronics, business and finances, and more. His work on fuzzy logic had millions of references and it is safe to say that he is one of the most prolific researchers in our field. His wisdom will be greatly missed.
